In Memory

Edward "Ed" J. Kiml, 85, of Penn Yan, N.Y., passed away on Saturday, Jan. 31, 2015, at Soldiers & Sailors Memorial Hospital. Ed was born on Aug. 15, 1929, in Cleveland, Ohio, to the late James and Rose (Kutcher) Kiml.

He served in the U.S. Air Force from 1950-1954 and as an Ohio State Trooper for several years before moving to Alaska, where he worked Security for Alyeska Pipeline Service. After retiring to the Finger Lakes area of New York State, he worked for 10 years at Wegmans of Canandaigua, N.Y. Ed loved photography, biking, scuba diving and traveling.

At Ed's request, a private graveside service will be held. Memorial donations may be made in Ed's name to the Humane Society of Yates County, 1216 Route 14A, Penn Yan, NY 14527. Family and friends may sign the guest book at Townsend-Wood Funeral Chapel.

Ed was a fine man and I always enjoyed working with him. I could trust him and depend on him completely. He was a Security professional, but aways was compassionate and caring. Too many stories to even begin to repeat here. Rest in peace Ed.
